Day 12:  Something Blue

 What could be bluer than Babe the Blue Ox?

Babe and Paul Bunyan just had

a 

face-lift

and 

the 

larger

than

life

duo

never looked better!

Thirty Day Challenge: Days 10 & 11

Day 10:  A Childhood Memory

 As a child, I would play beneath my grandparent's grove of willow trees.  It was fun to disappear under the weeping willow branches and build a secret hide-away from the grown-ups.   The chosen blog name, Whispering Willows, was based on my childhood memories of the willow groves separating my grandparents property and the farmer's fields next to it.



Day 11:  Sunset

30 Day Photo Challenge: Day 9

Day 9:  Someone I  ❤

Meet my granddaughter.  This adorable little head is full of joy and happiness, and silly, wonderful jokes.   I love her and miss her so much & I am very excited to see her again, in two weeks.

Day 8:  A Bad Habit

My Latest Shipment

I would have to say, 

if I am to be honest

-and I am always that-

my worst habit is 

the purchasing of books.

I love books.

 Cookbooks, 

knitting books,

writing books

running books

fiction

epic tales

history books

political books

gardening books

children's books

music books

I love books.

I have an electronic reader-the Nook

and I like that, 

but 

it's not a real book.

I do buy too many books and it becomes

all to evident,

when it's time

to move

back to the

desert for the winter.

Day Seven:  Fruit

It's nearly Fall--at least up here in the north country, 

therefore it's apple season.

I wish I could say this was from

my own apple tree...

 but it's not.

Unfortunately, we didn't get any apples this year.

30 Day Challenge: Day 6

Day 6:

Lying Low Today

Literally

Blissfully beautiful day 

to lie down

in the grass.

 I've never 

viewed a lake from

this angle 

before.

Looking through

the reeds

to capture

the water

lapping

the shoreline.

Aside from getting my knees muddy, I liked this challenge 

better than yesterday's

loftier 

one.

Day 5:  From a High Angle

I do not like heights.  

I contemplated my challenge for today, with acrophobic caution.  

I thought of climbing the neighbor's oak tree.

 I briefly wondered if I

could

  stand bravely on the roof of the gazebo.  

  Finally, 

I went to the loft (loft means to rise high into the air) and took this shot 

of a wood duck 

hanging from the ceiling of our log home.
